We booked a suite with two queens and a pull out couch. We got a handicap accessible room with one king bed. Asked for a rollaway and was not brought one. Asked for pillows and blankets and was given 2 sheets. There were no pillows or blankets available for my kids who had to sleep on the floor. The bed was terribly uncomfortable. We also had one towel for the shower.
